VMware discovery / Virtual Machines and ESX Host relationship

Hello Experts,

I see VMware discovery probes are inbuilt in ServiceNow discovery and the details are pulled into several ServiceNow tables. I am specifically looking forward to understand which table should we consider to conclude which VM is hosted on which ESX Host.

On further research, I did come across the "cmdb_rel_ci" table that lists all the vCenter relationships but I am confused between the two relationship types- 1. Registered On :: Has Registered 2. Virtualized by :: Virtualizes (highlighted below). Which one should be used in order to get all Virtual Machines(VM) hosted by a specific ESX Host. Please also elaborate on the difference between the two.
